Capacitance Measurement

WARNING: Before testing, ensure that the

tested capacitor has been fully discharged.

1. Press the POWER button for a long time to turn

on the meter.

2. Press the PRI button until

“

”

is displayed on

the screen to select capacitance measurement.

3. Insert a capacitor into test slots or connect a

tested capacitor through a proper test accessory
(e.g., banana plug-crocodile clip test leads, test
fixture or SMD test tweezers). See figures 14
below. Figure 13 shows the optional 4-terminal
test accessories.

4. CAUTION: BEFORE inserting a capacitor or

capacitive component into the input slots or
terminals, be sure to fully discharge the
component. Some larger capacitive
